W'r are anticipating a large at- t ndanco at our home football games this year.
We were very well pleased Isist Friday evening to have over 60 per cent of our high school student body and over fifty per cent of our teaching staff plus a large number of adults at the Richmond game. In fact, Huntley had al¬ most as many attending as Rich- n'ond did. Lot's keep it up.

An item also discussed at the meeting was school-community spirit. Students can really try to do a good job of something whe¬ ther in sports or music, or the like, but without the interest of par¬ ents, friends, other students, etc., they lose the will to keep trying. Many events thus given by stu¬ dents and teachers in the past, for the persons of the Huntley area have had poor support either due to a lack of Interest for one rea¬ son or another, or because maybe the teams were having a hard time of it. Many events, of the past were very poor In attendance; Continued on Page 2 P.T.A.

During 1956 through 1957 he served as the Graduate- Assistant to the Department of Education at the aforementioned university.
